Chapter 8: The Joy of Parenthood

Phoebe's due date was coming up. She hadn't had any of the side effects that Piper had had with Wyatt. No burping orbs or anything. But that made sense, Daniel wasn't a whitelighter or an elder, he was a normal man, well as normal as any man can get who has traveled to other planets and saved the world a number of times. They had the saving the world part in common.

Phoebe looked back on her pregnancy since the wedding, and she realized how lucky she was. Daniel had run off in the middle of the night countless times to get her whatever takeout she was craving at that moment. It also helped that she lived next door to her sisters. She was able to run over there is there was any demonic trouble, and Daniel didn't feel like in the middle of it.

She was sitting in her office at 2 in the afternoon in the Newspaper, trying to figure out what to write to Sad in Seattle, who wanted to know if she should leave her husband, who had cheated on her, or give them a chance to work it out. Phoebe was figuring out what to tell her when she got a sharp pain in her back, "Whoa, Prudence, easy there."

Deciding that that was a sign that she had had enough work for one day she got up and started to leave. Phoebe got as far as the door when she felt water down her legs. And almost immediately a much harder pain, "Ahhhh!" Phoebe screamed and Danny, her new secretary heard her. One car ride later that was a little too long for Phoebe's taste, and they had reached the hospital, to find Piper, Paige, and her two little nephews waiting. They had been called, and thanks to little Prue's Auntie Paige, they had made it before her.

"Where's Daniel?" Phoebe pleaded.

"They called him at the museum, he's on his way," Piper leaned in whispering, "Our little shortcut was out of the question with the crowds," she raised her voice, "Don't worry, Leo is out front looking for him."

Phoebe was put comfortably in a room to wait out the contractions when Daniel ran in with Leo. Each man greeted their wives. Daniel was holding her hand when the next contraction came on. It was a hard one as Phoebe gripped Daniel's hand, trying to breath through the pain. "It's okay honey, okay, in, whoo, whoo, whoo, out, whii, whii, whii, again," he repeated this but it just wasn't helping Phoebe.

"Daniel, shut up!" Then she felt their daughter's power flow through her as Daniel was suddenly pushed backwards, but luckily a) there was no one but the Halliwells there, and b) Leo was there to catch him. "Oh, Danny, I'm so sorry."

"That's okay sweetie."

"Hey guys, at least it looks like we picked out the right name for your new niece." Everyone in the room smiled at that, even Daniel and Paige, who had never met Prue, but had heard enough stories of her and her powers to know what she meant.

It had been a hard labor, but in the end Phoebe had a gorgeous baby girl in her arms. "Hey, Little Prue, I'm your mommy." Tired but happy, Phoebe looked from her child who she had foreseen in visions to the face of her love, Daniel. He had tears in his eyes, as he bent down to kiss first his wife and then his little girl.

Outside the hospital room in the waiting room Piper and Paige had fallen asleep with Leo. Wyatt and Chris were at home with their grandfather, but he promised to bring them to see their new cousin come morning. They woke when they heard the doctor come into the room . Leo nudged his wife and sister in law, and they quickly woke and jumped up to hear what he had to say. "How's my sister?"

"Mother and daughter are resting comfortably. We can probably let the two of you to visit your sister, but then we will let her rest." Piper and Paige nodded understandingly. Piper knew more than anything having had two children herself, and the second was a secection.

Piper and Paige went in, while Leo waited outside. Daniel slipped out of the room to leave the sisters alone to admire the new Halliwell. "Congratulations Daniel, welcome to fatherhood. At least your little girl won't be able to orb all over creation."

"Thanks, I guess it is an adventure raising a magical child. Any advice?"

"Be prepared for anything."

While the two men were outside, Piper and Paige were admiring their new niece. "Oh, she's so cute. So when are they letting you go home?" Piper said. She knew better than anyone that the sooner they got out of the hospital and away from here the better with a magical baby.

"Tomorrow morning. I guess they could let us go home now, but they want to make sure." They understood, Piper had spent some time after she had Chris in the hospital. Now that Leo no longer was magical, they had to be more careful with vanquishings and such. Piper didn't want little Wyatt to have to go through the potentially dangerous effects of constantly having to tap into his healing powers.

The Halliwell looked at the newest addition to their heritage in little Prudence Halliwell. The little girl smiled up at them, and it felt like everything would be alright in the world. Let's just hope that Phoebe will have more luck in holding on to her man than the rest of the Halliwells.
